Asparagus 2008

This was the third year for my asparagus bed and the first year for harvesting. The thing about asparagus is that it all comes in at once and for a few weeks you have to check it and cut daily and eat as much as you possibly can before it's gone. Friends are usually quite willing to absorb the surplus. I cut asparagus and put it in my trug and carried it all around the yard and felt quite like Gertrude Jekyll.
